Fred. Campbell Does Not oct a5O from
Erie RaiIwny President King.

A New York special says: President
King, of the Erie railroad, recently re
cclved a blackmailing communication in
which the writer said:
"Unless my request is complied with
to the very letter disaster such rs never
occurred on any read shall soon take
place or the Erie. know every nile
of the road from here to Buffalo. have
planned everything carefully, aud my
future shall be given 20 wrccking trains
and plundering. Defy me, and ruin
first to the road, second to yourself,
shall come, for once drive me to crime
and your life will not be worth a half
penny.
Then follows instructions how to send
the writer $50 and long description of
himself as a destitute and starving man.
Mr.. King put the matter in the hands of
Detective Flynn, who placed crisp
brown papers, the size Of bank bills, in
an envelope bearing the initials Y. Y.
H., as directed by the writer of the let
ter. 4 messenger was given the letter
and took his way TO toe corner of Broad
way and Yessey streets, whers he was
met by aAether boy, who took the en-
yelope. Detective Flynn interviewed the
second boy, who said he lad been hired
to get the letter and leave it under
fruit stand at the corner Of Pearl and
John streets. The detective instructed
the boy TO obey orders and hid in a door
way and waited for his man. In ten
minutes a well-dressed man came along
and drew forth the note. He WAS ar
rested, and he gave his name MS Fred J.
Campbell, and denied that he had writ
ten the matchmaking letter.

Plain Talk.


Nothing in the result of the elections
OF Tuesday ismore gratifying than the
defeat of Malone in Virginia. He has
continued 10 debauch the politics and
the morals Of that State to a greater
degree than could have been expected
from person of his intrinsic insignif-
canoe. His influence has been uniformly
ba /, aud at one time he pursued with
temporary success in the Senate the
same diSreputable tactics by which
he had attained the position Of
boss in Virginia. Ii was necessary
for the cause Of decent politics
in that State that he should be SO
disastrously defeated as 10 be driven ont
Of public life altogether. This has now
happened 10 him. Though the material
of ignorance and rascality and gullibili-
ty. without which he could not have
done his work, still abounds in Virginia.
it is not likely that anybody else, having
his fate in view, can make as bad use OF
it as lac did. The decent people of Vir-
ginis will henceforth have an opportuni.
ty to make their sentiments effective in
its government At any rate, and what
ever is to succeed, the disappearance of
Malone is matter for congratulation.
" Thank goodness, there's an end of
that"

Blame and Cleveland.


The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandra Gazette says that in the for
mer place great hilarity prevails at the
White House because OF the victory of
Tuesday last, which was all that was ne
cessary TO insure Mr.. CLEvRLAND's re-
election and like hilarity prevails at
Republican headquarters, as the result
referred to is considered there as
auietus to the nomination Of both BLAINE
and SHERMAN, as the former cannot carry
New York nor the latter any southern
State.
Certainly the bloody shirt has had its
day. 1t is now out of date-antiqusted
During the late campaign 1t was waved
for all il was worth in New York. the
Tribune using its utmost efforts TO rouse
sectional prejudices because of General
JAcKsoN's unfortunate or unwise speech
at Macon, and because of other utter
snces in the papers OF the South and by
persons in this section. But in vain.
The northern people are not to be
frightened by such ghost. They have
experienced nearly three years o. Demo
cratic rule and ale not 10 be frightened
at shadows.
We said yesterday that the Republi-
cans could not change their tactics at this
late day, BLAINE and SHERMAN having
linked their fortunes with the fortunes of
the sections.ists, and placed themselves
in circumstances which would insure the
defeat OF their party as well as them
selves. The Republicans in Washing
ton seem 70 be OF a different opinion.
They are reported TO be prepared TO save
their party by the abandonment OF
BLAINE aud SHERMAN. They speak
too late, wo think. BLAINE has q
hold upon the Republican party of
the whole Union similar TO the
hold which MALONE has had upon
the negro party in Virginia. And
as MALONE dragged the Republican party
Of this State down into the CUTTERS Of
SYNONYMOUS defeat, 30 BLAINE will lead
a forlorn hope into q disastrous battle
next year There is time enough left TO
defest either BLAriE or CLEVELAND Of
the nomination Of his party under cir.
cumstances which Of course might posi-
bly, surround them. No man can tell
what a day viii bring forth. But in all
human probability the contest in 1888
will be between the same two men who
made the contest OF 1894 memorable in
the history Of this country.

FRIDAY. ......NOVEMBER II, 1897
Importance Of Our Victory.


The comments of the press Of both
sections aud of all shades of political
opinion upon the result of the election
in Virginia show that the importance Of
that result in its bearing upon the ma
tional contest of 1855 has been in no
wise overestimated by either side. In
deed, these comments are such as
that they constitute a rebuke TO
all Democrats who failed TO do
their duty on elcction.day. The
organs are howlng-there is no other
word for their eIpress!ons-oyor the sig
nal defeat the malignants received in
their effort to break the solid South. The
southern Democratic papers are rejoi-
cling and reiterating their assertion that
Virginia has "set the pace for the
South" in the presidential campaign
of next year. The northern Demo
cratic papers send us greetings
and encouraging promises and prophe-
cies, while the Independent Republican
papers calmly recognize the logic OF
the outcome and make no concealment
of their elation at the end OF Malone
ism. OF the last-named papers the
Philadelphia Evening 7tlcgraph is a
fair representative. After stating that
tine Republicans have not made the adj
vances in the South and Southwest that
some of the brethren were inclined
to predict they would, the telegraph
adds that Virginia has been carried by
the Democrats, with the result of
squelching that pestiierous mischief
maker MALONE. who has done the cause
of Eepubhcanism in his neighborhood
vastly more harm than he has done it
good, and making it as plain as need
be that the electoral vote of Virginia
will be cast in 1855 as it Was in lSSi-
for the Democratic candidates. Our
Philadelphia contemporary then argues
that the situation today hs regards the
strength Of the two parties is just about
what It was in 1854, with the ex-
ception" that the Democratic party
has received such strengthening in
New York State as will reduce the Re
publican chances there to a very small
minimum.
The Wilmington star, which embo-
dies in It's comments the views of most
of the southern Democratic papers, says
the victory in Virginia is OF unusual I'M
portance, and makes Virginia sure for
the Democrats in 1883. and that North
Carolina viii remain in the Democratic
column, the solid South Will remain
unbroken, and peace and prosperity VIII
be assured to the country for at least
four years more"
The northern malignsnts raised the
cry "as goes Virginia so goes the
South, and the manner in which they
supported MAHoNE's canvass proves
conclusively that they believe this to be
true. The opinions Of the press derive,
therefore, additional significance from
that cry.

Thomas Purnell, a colored brakeman,
was killed at Lee Tilery's saw-mill this
morning by the Scotland-Neck train.
Purnell was coupling the cars on the
side-track, and was caught between them
and crushed to death. He lived about
three quarters of an hour after the hor-
rible accident and suffered tue most ex-
cruciating pain. His remains were
brought up to Halifax. The officers on
the train we're Mr. George Smith, engi-
neer, and Captain A. l.. Hassard Short.
No blame whatever can be attached to
the officials. 1t was one OF those dread
full accidents which often occur when
men become too familiar With danger.
Another rainy spell set in last night,
and to-day the clouds are low and soft,
and the indications are for wet time
generally.
The people of Weldon rejoice with
you over your glorious victory Tues
